did notorious big have the most simplistic rhyme schemes

[ronnie56]

idk about rhyme schemes but biggie > Pac imo

well i do and pac >>>>>>>>>>>> biggie imo

[TheGoodDoctor]

it doesn't matter, technical rhyming is overrated

[ronnie56]

[b][u]Big definitely didn't make it a priority,[/u][/b] but he wasn't a stranger to stacking rhymes. Look at a song like "Kick In The Door" for example...

"Penis before I squeeze and bust
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot like a kettle get
You're delicate, you better get - who sent ya?
You still pedal shit, I got more rides than 'Great Adventure'"

"On ya mark, get set, when I spark, ya wet
Look how dark it get when you're marked for death
Should I start your breath or should I let you die"

"Trying to blow up like nitro and dynamite sticks
Mad I smoke hydro, rock diamonds that's sick
Got paid off my flow, rhyme with my own clique"

i guess it depends on what perspective u look at it in because to me this is cool but compared to somebody like nas eminem pac or rakim this is child's play

pac for one was way more complex then biggie imo



9-1-1 its a emergency cowards tried to murder me
From hood to the 'burbs, everyone of you niggas heard of me
Shit I'm legendary niggas scary and paralyzed
Nothing more I despise than a liar
cowards die
My mama told me When I was to see
Just a vicious mutha fucker while these devils left me free
I proceed to make them shiver
when I deliver
Criminal lyrics
from a world wide mob figure
Thug niggas from everywhere Mr. Mackaveli
Niggas is waiting for some thug shit, thats what they tell me


not only does pac rhyme more syllables but he has more of a complex pattern

[MistaVijilantee]

"Niggas is mad I get more butt than ash trays
Fuck a fair one, I get mine the fast way
Ski mask way, nigga ransom notes
Far from handsome, but damn a nigga tote
More guns than roses, foes is shaking in their boots
Invisible bully like The Gooch
Disappear, vamoose, you're wack to me
Take them rhymes back to the factory
I see the gimmicks, the wack lyrics, the shit is
Depressing, pathetic, please forget it
You're mad cause my style you're admiring
Don't be mad, UPS is hiring"

This not overly complex but it has clever, slick punchlines i.e "I get more butt than ashtrays" and it's an example of why Biggie was so successful, he had catchy simple phrases but they were far from dumbed down.
He is one of the most accessible rappers because of this.

[ronnie56]

Pac also had some 'poor' songs by rhyme/complexity standards.

I'd say neither of them are on Nas or Big L's level, although both of them did have a handful they shined one.

well it depends on who u asking because to me and imo pac had complex rhyme schemes.

I think Biggie deserves his spot as one of the GOATS. he may of not had the the rhyme schemes but he certainly had flow and a larger than life personality

Yeah, I mean, 90% of internet rappers can spit multies, not many have charisma and dope flows.

Was just listening to that song the other day, I love that verse.

that's irrelevant because what do textcees have anything to do with biggie not having complex rhyme schemes ?

No, it's not. He was making the point that charisma is just as important as multi's, Biggie made up for that hugely by sounded like a fucking boss when he rapped.
Also, he was an incredible story teller, motherfucker could paint pictures it doesn't matter that he wasn't some "lyrical, miracle" kind of MC.

[gutawafang]

Sometimes I don't like his multis. But then his flow makes up for it so I don't really bother. Schemes are just okay I guess. I don't really like BIGGIE in general though because I can't relate to his songs. They're sorta too ghetto, too gangsta or whatever the term is. I didn't grow up killing people or smoking weed so I don't understand certain visions he portrays in his lyrics.
